Nan Nan's eyes lit up when he saw the person coming, "Brother Ping, it's you."
Ye Lanping took a few steps forward and looked at Nannan with a smile, "Long time no see, you are still the same as before." A person who walks the streets with ostentation is not afraid of attracting enemies.
He said, looking at Ye Lansheng beside him, "Lan Sheng, are you okay?"
Speaking of which, although they are cousins, they have hardly ever met. In the past, he was the grandson of Concubine Shu and could enter and exit the palace freely. Although Ye Lansheng was the grandson of the queen, he was forgotten in a corner of the palace because of the queen's fall from grace.
It was because of Nan Nan as the middleman that the two of them became a little familiar.
Ye Lansheng nodded slightly, with a faint smile on his face, "Cousin."
Ye Lanping also has several playmates around him, and they are all familiar with Nannan. Their fathers were all officials in the court, and several of them were old enough to know some of the goings-on in the court. Now there was talk that Prince Xiu was back, and he was very likely to be the future emperor.
Therefore, they naturally want to please Nan Nan and stand on the same side.
A person standing next to Ye Lanping, after catching Ye Lanping's look, kicked the little leader of the guards on the spot, "You don't know how to live or die, Prince Sheng is someone you can bully at will? If this word reaches the emperor, In my ears, don’t even think about your heads, get out of here.”
The little leader was stunned, and when he saw Ye Lanping looking at him with a cold face, his heart trembled, and he lowered his head and said, "Prince Ping, I am a villain, I am just following orders."
"By whose order?"
"Feng, fong..." If you say it's Ye Lansheng's order, that's definitely not possible, but if you say it's the fourth prince's order, that's not just acknowledging Nanfang's words. It's really the fourth prince's order to be under surveillance. Ye Lansheng
Finally, he gritted his teeth and could only bite the bullet and said, "Your Majesty has an order. If Prince Sheng leaves Jincheng Garden, he must be followed by guards."
"Did Grandpa Huang say how many guards are required to follow?"
Sweat broke out on the little leader's head. Didn't everyone say that Ye Lanping was a lawless and not smart little bully? How could he be so smart about this kind of thing? Even when the emperor's name was mentioned, he didn't even take a step back
"Tell me, Grandpa Huang, did you tell me how many guards are following you?" Ye Lanping asked again.
The little leader could only shake his head.
Ye Lanping immediately shouted coldly, "If not, then you still dare to cause trouble in the name of Grandpa Huang. Grandpa Huang hates others bullying others and disturbing the people. But you have come in a mighty force of thirty people. Isn't this right?" Are you going against Grandpa Huang's will? Nan Nan and Lan Sheng are drinking tea at the tea shop. It's good for you to stand here and drive away other customers, but you still say that you are following orders? "
Nan Nan raised his chin, blinked at Ye Lanping, and the two exchanged a tacit look.
The little leader's head was covered with sweat, and he wanted to say something to argue, but Ye Lanping spoke up again, "But I also understand that you are all subordinates of Fourth Uncle. Fourth Uncle asked you to follow Lan Sheng, so you also I can only obey orders. I don’t care about this matter. I will explain it to my fourth uncle later, and my fourth uncle should understand. After all, he can never live up to the emperor’s caring heart for the people."
The words were clearly meant to excuse the little leader, but the little leader felt that his legs were weak and he was even more frightened. Isn't this putting all the blame on the Fourth Prince, covertly and overtly
If you want to say something, you must say something. Otherwise, if the Fourth Prince finds out, he will definitely be accused of being unfavorable in doing things.
But Ye Lanping didn't give him a chance at all. Instead, he looked at Nannan and said with a smile, "Are you drinking tea here? It just so happens that I'm a little thirsty too, let's go together."
With that said, he sat down first.
The people around looked at each other in shock, but there were some people who understood everything.
One is the son of the eldest prince, Prince Bao, and the other is the most beloved son of Prince Xiu. Both of them are now standing up for the son of the deposed prince. It seems that the form of the imperial capital has changed again.
The son of the deposed prince does not seem to have fallen out of favor as everyone said.
Over there, Uncle Luo and Granny Luo had placed the brewed barley tea on the table. Ye Lanping took the initiative to take the tea cup and poured tea for Ye Lansheng and Nan Nan. The young master's attitude was clearly evident.
Ye Lansheng nodded to Uncle Luo and Granny Luo, and said in a low voice, "Thank you for your hard work."
Uncle Luo and Granny Luo were stunned for a moment, but they didn't expect him to say thank you.
They have been operating here for many years and have met many dignitaries, but except for Nan Nan who would say thank you to them, almost no one would say "thank you".
Unexpectedly, this son of the deposed prince, who was not involved in childbirth and whose reputation was not very good in the eyes of everyone, would actually be so friendly.
The two of them had some feelings in their hearts for a moment. It seems that a person's character cannot be heard from hearsay. How can he recognize it if he doesn't see it with his own eyes
The two of them had a good impression of Ye Lansheng, and when they turned around they talked to the neighbors about his polite and friendly nature.
Nannan looked at Ye Lansheng with a smile, happily took the cup handed over by Ye Lanping, took a small and comfortable sip, and then said with satisfaction, "Ah, the barley tea here in Uncle Luo is the best. "
Ye Lanping was startled for a moment. He was just sitting here to give Nannan a boost as he wanted. He had never thought about actually drinking tea at a street tea shop like this. But seeing Nannan enjoying herself, she couldn't help but ask, "Is it really delicious?"
Nan Nan glanced at him sideways and directly handed the quilt to his lips, "You will know after you drink it."
Ye Lanping was still a little hesitant, but Ye Lansheng and Yu Baoer on the other side clinked their glasses and took a sip, and their eyes lit up involuntarily.
Ye Lanping's mouth twitched and he took a small sip. Then he raised his eyebrows, nodded, and said firmly, "Not bad."
As soon as he said this, the followers also started drinking.
With the following of these dandy boys, Uncle Luo's tea shop suddenly became very popular and became a must-visit place for those who are well-known in the imperial capital.
The group of people were in a happy mood and seemed not to be affected at all by the guards of Jinchengyuan who were standing aside muttering and thinking of ideas.
Until those guards seemed to have discussed a solution and wanted to make up for the situation and regain the face of the fourth prince.
However, at this moment, a carriage slowly drove up among the crowd. Someone jumped out of the carriage, and a pair of cold eyes fell on them.
The thirty guards shivered violently and lowered their heads involuntarily.
